Recensione

"The new edition is a really beautiful and wonderfully informative book that no embryologist, comparative anatomist, paediatric nuerologist or neurosurgeon should be without. Putting aside the medical relevance of this atlas, it also provides the most captivating version of one of the most complex and fascinating embryological stories of all." ––Robert M. Santer, University of Wales, Cardiff, UK Reviewed in Brain, 2000, 123:1534–1535
